Un ponte tra teoria e pratica: Primo soccorso e resilienza per il patrimonio culturale in tempi di crisi (FAR)

FAR

I corsi FAR (First Aid and Resilience for Cultural Heritage in Times of Crisis) - siano essi internazionali, regionali o nazionali - sono progettati per rafforzare le capacità di gestione del rischio di catastrofi a tutti i livelli, in particolare nelle regioni ad alto rischio. Queste iniziative poliedriche integrano ricerca, formazione e applicazioni sul campo, spaziando dalla sperimentazione di strategie di gestione del rischio di catastrofi incentrate sulla comunità alla fornitura di formazione specializzata.

I corsi FAR mirano a costruire una solida rete globale di "primi soccorritori culturali" e agenti del cambiamento. Questi professionisti aiutano a integrare le considerazioni sul patrimonio culturale nella riduzione del rischio di disastri, nella gestione delle emergenze, nell'adattamento ai cambiamenti ambientali, negli aiuti umanitari e nella trasformazione dei conflitti, assicurando che la protezione del patrimonio sia una componente chiave degli sforzi di resilienza.
